Male organ odor is a health issue that all men encounter at some time or other. Even when it isn’t a chronic concern, there are plenty of times – when he has just finished a neighborhood game of football or come in from mowing the lawn on a hot day – when an unmistakable funk wafts from his crotch. But while these sweat-based emanations make sense, there are more puzzling ones that can be confounding. For example, evidence has shown that there can might a link between male organ odor and diabetes, something most men wouldn’t think to consider.

About diabetes

Diabetes, as most people know, has to do with blood sugar levels. But the disease is more complex than many people may realize. In a nutshell, diabetes refers to several disorders that all affect how the body uses and processes blood sugar. Blood sugar (also called glucose) is important; it gives energy to cells and keeps the brain healthy. Having too little or too much glucose isn’t good, and when this happens over the long term, it can result in damage. Insulin is used to help regulate blood sugar, and when a person has diabetes, they need to inject insulin to help keep glucose at healthy levels.

Often, when there is a problem with the body getting enough glucose, the liver will create something called ketone bodies. Basically, this is a temporary source of energy to be used when glucose is not being accessed properly. So, when diabetes causes problems with glucose, more ketone bodies are created.

Sometimes the body produces more of these ketone bodies than it can use properly. This excess is called ketonuria, and it is one of the signs that a person’s diabetes may not be being managed adequately. If a doctor find evidence of ketonuria, he is likely to recommend altering treatment.

Smell

Ketonuria is marked by an intense odor, one which is typically described as fishy. It is not pleasant to most people. Sometimes, when a man is urinating, he may catch a whiff of a very fishy smell in his urine; that may be an indication of ketonuria (especially if the man has previously been diagnosed with diabetes or prediabetes).

How does ketonuria relate to male organ odor? Well, even the most careful man does not always shake all of the urine drops out of his manhood when he finishes urinating. Drops that stray out afterward may dry on the member and can leave behind a strong odor. This is one reason why it’s important to take time to allow post-urination drops to dribble out. It also can be helpful to wipe the head off with a damp paper towel after urinating, to catch any stray droplets.

If a man suspects he has ketonuria, he should alert his doctor. If he has not previously been diagnosed with diabetes, the doctor will want to check to see if this is a possibility. If he has been diagnosed, it may mean that the patient is not properly managing his diabetes or may need to have a change in his treatment regimen.

Whether a man has diabetes or not, male organ odor can be an especially galling problem. Daily use of a first class male organ health creme(health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) is urged to help combat this problem. A man should definitely seek pout a crème which includes vitamin A among its ingredients. This wonderful vitamin has antibacterial properties which can be an enormous help in fighting a persistent stink. The creme should also include alpha lipoic acid, a potent antioxidant. By fighting excess free radicals, alpha lipoic acid strengthens male organ skin and makes it even less likely to succumb to odor-causing bacteria.
